Trainers as I’m quite sure you would agree with me are one
of the most comfortable styles of footwear you can get? Sneakers as trainers are
also known were once only designed for
sports, but today we have seen an epidemic of the sporty styles that serve a
purpose of style opposed to sport, so that we can be comfortable and look
fabulous on our casual everyday activities.
By the early 1900’s trainers were being manufactured and
ever since then we have seen more elaborate and intricate designs sprouting up
from quite literally everywhere.
One trainer design that has been prolific this spring summer
is the ‘hi-top’ trainer design. Hi-tops were once traditionally worn by basketball
players. Michael Jordon was one of the first to rock a pair on court
courtesy of trainer giant Nike.
A hi-top trainer is essentially a normal trainer with an
extra bit of leather upper that goes up and around the ankle. In 2009 Kanye West
collaborated with Louis Vuitton to produce their first hi- top trainer which
was in an all signature red colour which were a complete
sell out. Since then fashion designers Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin and
celebrities like Heidi Klum, Rita Ora and Rihanna just to name a few are
running rife in these sports luxe numbers.
The great thing about hi-top trainers is that they are versatile and easy to team with most
looks you already have in your wardrobe. They look great teamed with shorts,
skirts, denim clothing and for a smarter option they look great with chino’s, a
pair of slim fitting or cropped trousers.
To help you shop the best of what is out there and complete
your most chic sports luxe look, I have put together the top 5 of the best
designer hi-top trainers out there!
These black sneakers are in a moccasin inspired design that sees tassels down the front of the show. These trainers are super easy to fasten with their quick velcro fastening.
These sneakers are the ultimate hi top investment piece as you can team them with so many different looks.
These hi-top leopard trainers are made from quality pony
fur. They have a round toe and lace up fastening that features a metallic gold
strap that goes over the top of the laces. Animal prints are huge this season
and this is a trend that will also carry over into autumn winter collections,
making these a great buy as you can wear them season after season. These sneakers will make a cool bold fashion
statement and are the perfect way to work in the animalistic trend into your
shoe box.
These quilted hi-tops from Chloe are beautiful in pastel
pink. The design of the trainer features a round toe, lace up fastening in a wedged heel design. These trainers are the perfect way to explore pastel colours this season
and the light colour of the trainer enables you to team them with most
patterned and brightly coloured garments in your wardrobe.
These gold metallic hi-tops come in a round toe design featuring the Versace motif on the tongue. These
trainers would make the statement key piece to your look and should be paired
with block colours to complete a good style aesthetic.
These hi-top sneakers are less conventional than the
traditional trainer out there with their leather upper and platform sole. These lace up hi tops will blend perfectly with all your sartorial looks.
With so many hi-top styles on offer which pair hi-tops will
work with most of what is in your wardrobe?
